MODEL OF THE FIRST FLOATING HOTEL IN PARIS
An innovative project
The first ever floating hotel opened in 2016 in Paris, Austerlitz. Named OFF Paris Seine, this project is led by designer Christophe Galineau (Citysurfing), architect Gérard Ronzatti (Seine Design), Novaxia, BPI France and Elegancia Hotels.
OFF Paris is designed in length, on two floats corresponding to its two wings. The highlight of the show is located at its central pool that separates the two buildings, giving the illusion that it is crossed by the Seine.
This 3-star hotel consists of 58 rooms, a swimming pool, a restaurant and a lounge bar. The ambition of this project is to bring a new place of life that is atypical, classy and accessible, while exploiting the banks.
